With this game the Venezuelan is now only one homer away from becoming the first 30/60 player.

The 25-year-old will certainly remember this match as he had to experience an unpleasant incident, where a fan invaded the pitch, knocking him down, before security people intervened.

“I was a little scared at first,” Acuña said “I think the fans were out there and asking for pictures. I really couldn’t say anything because at that point, security was already there and we were already kind of tangled up, but security was able to get there and everything’s OK. We’re all OK and I hope they’re OK.”

Nevertheless, Acuña became the fourth player 25 or more homers and 60 or more steals, joining Hall of Famers Joe Morgan (1973, ’76) and Rickey Henderson (1986, ’90) along with Eric Davis (1986).
